No. 116,804

ORDER OF DISBARMENT
In a letter signed by the respondent on April 7, 2017, addressed to the Clerk of the
Appellate Courts, respondent Dennis James Molamphy, an attorney admitted to the
practice of law in the state of Kansas, voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law
in Kansas, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 217 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 260).

Kan. S. Ct. R. 342) (candor toward the tribunal); 5.3 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 358)
(responsibilities regarding nonlawyer assistance); and 8.4 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 379)
(misconduct).
This court, having examined the files of the office of the Disciplinary
Administrator, finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted and
that the respondent should be disbarred.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Dennis James Molamphy be and he is hereby
disbarred from the practice of law in Kansas and his license and privilege to practice law
